3.2 Effects of Repeated (Chronic) Overexposure: Breathing of Excessive dust may cause
Pulmonary disease.
3.5 Significant Laboratory data with possible relevance to Human Hazard Evaluation:
4.4 Eye Contact : Wash eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 mins,
lifting lids occasionally. Seek Medical Aid.
5.3 Flammable Limits in Air, % by Volume : a. Lower Expl. Limit: Not Applicable
b. Upper Expl. Limit: Not Applicable
5.6 Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards : Negligible fire Hazard when exposed
to heat or flame.
Product is not hazardous according to RCRA criteria or listing as supplied. Dispose off with
accordance with local, state and federal regulations dealing with a waste product.
9.10 Appearance, Odor and state : Grey, Light Tan, Powder, Lumps,

10. Stability and Reactivity;
The International Agency for research on cancer has determined that over – exposure to
crystalline silica can cause lung cancer and silicosis, a progressive lung disease in humans. Health
effects from exposure to crystalline silica occur only when it is inhaled.
Toxicity to Animals:
LD 50 : Not Available LC 50 : Not Available for mineral
Inhalation Effects:
Crystalline silica has shown to cause Silicosis and Lung cancer. Crystalline silica only causes
these conditions when inhaled.
Skin Contact:
Prolonged skin contact may lead to drying or cracking of the skin due to the absorption of the
moisture.
Eye Contact:
As with any dust, will be irritating to the eyes due to physical abrasion.
Studies have shown that the crystalline silica is evenly distributed throughout all particle sizes of
this product. Keep dust levels below permissible limits.
16.1 Additional Safety and Health Hazards : Keep dust to a minimum. Use
Adequate Ventilation.
16.2 Notes to Physician : None
16.3 Protective Clothing and Equipment : Wear long protective clothing with
